Greece has had a anti-American terrorist problem for a decades now. They normally target diplomatic and military personnel... but a high profile attack on athletes or fans during the Olypmics is what authorities fear. Furthermore their is always the threat of foreign terrorists making attacks too.. hence the warning to athletes.

That's precisely what I was thinking about.
Also, being Canadian, you should appreciate this. I think French judges should be excluded from the Olympics.
